Athletic director Chet Gladchuk confirmed on Tuesday that a territorial dispute between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals has brought a premature end to the Naval Academy Baseball Classic.
Gladchuk said the Nationals will not play exhibition games at Max Bishop Stadium on the Naval Academy campus as scheduled in 2018 and 2019.
“It is disappointing because this year’s game went extremely well and we were hoping to keep it going,” Gladchuk said.
Gladchuk cited as accurate all the basic details of a Washington Post report on why the event was abruptly canceled.
